A relativistic quantum theory of gravity
نویسنده
چکیده
A relativistic quantum theory of gravity is proposed in which the gravitational interaction between particles is represented by distanceand velocity-dependent potentials. The Poincaré invariance, the cluster separability, and the causality of this approach are established. The Hamiltonian for interacting massive particles and photons is formulated within the c−2 approximation. The classical limit of this theory reproduces well-known relativistic gravitational effects, including the anomalous precession of the Mercury’s perihelion, the light bending by the Sun’s gravity, the radar echo delay, the gravitational time dilation, and the red shift.

Generalization Of Lorentz-Poincare Ether Theory To Quantum Gravity
We present a quantum theory of gravity which is in agreement with observation in the relativistic domain. The theory is not relativistic, but a Galilean invariant generalization of Lorentz-Poincare ether theory to quantum gravity. If we apply the methodological rule that the best available theory has to be preferred, we have to reject the relativistic paradigm and return to Galilean invariant e...
متن کاملSpacetime geometric structures and the Search for a Quantum Theory of Gravity
One of the biggest challenges to theoretical physics of our time is to find a background-independent quantum theory of gravity. Today one encounters a profusion of different attempts at quantization, but no fully accepted or acceptable, theory of quantum gravity. Any such approach requires a response to a question that lies at the heart of this problem. “How shall we resolve the tension between...
متن کاملExactly Soluble Sector of Quantum Gravity
Cartan’s spacetime reformulation of the Newtonian theory of gravity is a generallycovariant Galilean-relativistic limit-form of Einstein’s theory of gravity known as the Newton-Cartan theory. According to this theory, space is flat, time is absolute with instantaneous causal influences, and the degenerate ‘metric’ structure of spacetime remains fixed with two mutually orthogonal non-dynamical m...
متن کاملThe Quantization of Gravity — an introduction
This is an introduction to quantum gravity, aimed at a fairly general audience and concentrating on what have historically been the two main approaches to quantum gravity: the covariant and canonical programs (string theory is not covered). The quantization of gravity is discussed by analogy with the quantization of the electromagnetic field. The conceptual and technical problems of both approa...
متن کاملTowards a fully consistent relativistic quantum mechanics and a change of perspective on quantum gravity
This paper can be seen as an exercise in how to adapt quantum mechanics from a strict relativistic perspective while being respectful and critical towards the experimental achievements of the contemporary theory. The result is a fully observer independent relativistic quantum mechanics for N particle systems without tachyonic solutions. A remaining worry for the moment is Bell’s theorem.
